There's an old sayin' that's been all around I heard it before I could walk How some's got health and some's got wealth Others money, marbles, and chalk I got money, marbles, and chalk, sweetheart But I still feel like I am poor 'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll And my chalk won't write anymore While you were near I was happy and gay Your presence made me feel so proud But you left me for another, one day Now I feel all alone in a crowd I got money, marbles, and chalk, sweetheart But I still feel like I am poor 'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll And my chalk won't write anymore The money, marbles, and chalk is alright For misers who loves only gold But give me a chance to save our romance For I love you with all of my soul I got money, marbles, and chalk, sweetheart But I still feel like I am poor 'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll And my chalk won't write anymore I got money, marbles, and chalk, sweetheart But I still feel like I am poor 'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll And my chalk won't write anymore
